CHAIR THE STAR [stars]

chair,Chair! CHAIR?, whenever i've put a chair in a illustration or painting - it,they, have played a very minor role-and never a well developed one. So I decided to make the CHAIR the STAR - Today [besides it is the topic for the week] I hope they don't get any BIG ideas-depends on the reviews I suppose.anyway, this is of course a digital, original-based on our dining area-although I played fast and loose with the snow-we have the white stuff, but it doesn't look like this.

It could be that 'tony' does come by time to time,to check out my chairs, maybe I let him sit in them, and maybe I don't. I'm afraid miss pretty, there's a vicious rumor going around-that pink is not perhaps his favorit color afterall

A family of chairs! This is a strong composition featuring lovely colours, with skilled contrasts of tonal areas (light and dark). The chairs all have individual character, but none moreso than the tilted one.

Thanks for your comments Cloud. Yes, I played with the snow to present the chairs better-all objects and tones and textures, are there for one reason-to spotlight the chairs,secondary objects,such as the moon, tabletop objects, etc.,the presentation is minimal-almost not there in the case of the houses seen thru sliding doors
